<p>What would you do if you applied to two transfer programs. One has reputation of being number 1 and the other is #2. Number 2 has accepted you. Number 1 will not notify applicants until June. Now the catch is Number 2 says you need to accept your acceptance by May 1. </p>
<p>What would you do. Take the for sure or hold out for the number 1?</p>
<p>I'm stuck in between a rock and a hard place here people help me out please!</p>
<p>Pay the deposit and accept. If school number one comes through, all you lose is your deposit.</p>
<p>what he said.</p>
<p>Thanks guys.</p>
<p>Ask school #2 for an extension. This is my exact situation right now. Waiting until end of April to ask my school #2 for an extension if I don’t hear from #1. A deposit is still money, usually a lot of money.</p>
<p>Yeah I feel like that is a legitimate reasoning. But what do you think the odds are of #2 saying yes to an extension considering that there must be some reason they set a deadline like this.</p>
<p>If you have a financial situation, they may give you an extension.</p>
<p>Finances are definitely an issue. So i will advise them of my financial aid status and then request an extension.</p>
<p>Well, some colleges just have deadlines like that because they give you their decisions earlier. It never hurts to ask anyway, if they say no, resort to the deposit idea.</p>
<p>i thought putting a deposit on a college and withdrawing for another was… not allowed?
i’m in the same situation, and will probably call college #2 on monday for an extension. also, i don’t think i have the deposit money to spare.</p>
<p>Dont put deposit just ask for extension and for ur #1 ask for earlier decision notification. Putting deposit and not going i think is not a really honorable thing to do</p>
<p>Sometimes you could call school #1 and they will notify you. I remember reading that in one of the applications. At the same time, you could lose your deposit and don’t have to call. :)</p>
